When Motion Sensors and Dimmers Make Sense

These smart controls add convenience and savings to everyday lighting. Here's when they're the right choice.

Lights Left On Constantly

Family members forgetting to turn off lights wastes energy. Occupancy sensors ensure lights turn off automatically when rooms are empty.

Hands Full in Doorways

Carrying laundry, groceries, or a sleeping child? Motion sensors turn lights on automatically—no fumbling for switches in the dark.

Want Ambiance Control

Full brightness isn't appropriate for every occasion. Dimmers let you set the perfect light level for dining, movies, or relaxation.

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Control

Timer switches for bathroom fans ensure moisture is removed without running fans all day. They turn off automatically after set periods.

Closet Lights Always On

Closets are perfect for occupancy sensors—lights come on when you enter, off when you leave. No more closet lights burning for hours.

Security When Away

Vacancy sensors turn lights OFF when you leave but require manual ON—signaling when your home appears occupied to deter intruders.

Our Installation Process

1

Application Assessment

We discuss your goals for each location—automatic control, dimming, timer function—and recommend the appropriate sensor or dimmer type.

2

Compatibility Verification

We verify your existing wiring supports the desired controls and ensure dimmers are compatible with your specific bulb types.

3

Professional Installation

We install switches with proper wiring, secure mounting, and settings appropriate for each application.

4

Sensitivity and Timer Adjustment

We adjust motion sensor sensitivity, coverage area, and time delays to match your preferences and eliminate unwanted activations.

5

Demonstration

We show you how each control works, including any adjustment features for future fine-tuning.

Benefits of Smart Lighting Controls

Automatic Energy Savings

Occupancy sensors eliminate lights left on in empty rooms. Typical households see 30-60% reduction in lighting energy with proper sensor placement.

Hands-Free Convenience

Motion sensors mean never fumbling for switches with full hands or in the dark. Lights just work when and where you need them.

Perfect Ambiance

Dimmers let you set exactly the right light level for any activity—bright for tasks, dim for relaxation, low for nighttime navigation.

Extended Bulb Life

Dimmed lights last longer than full-brightness operation. LEDs dimmed to 50% can last twice as long—additional savings beyond energy reduction.

Occupancy Sensors for Energy Savings

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about our electrical services and availability.

Occupancy sensors turn lights ON automatically when you enter and OFF when you leave. Vacancy sensors require manual ON (you flip the switch) but turn OFF automatically when you leave. Vacancy sensors are often preferred for bedrooms and living areas where you want control over when lights come on.
Yes. Motion sensor switches replace your wall switch and work with any fixture. They're rated for specific total wattages—we ensure your fixture load is within the switch rating. LED lighting works perfectly with modern occupancy sensors.
LED bulbs contain drivers (electronics) that must be designed for dimming. Non-dimmable LEDs can flicker, buzz, or fail with dimmers. Always use bulbs marked 'dimmable' with dimmer switches—and use dimmers rated for LED loads. We can recommend compatible combinations.
Buzzing typically indicates incompatibility between the dimmer and bulbs. Common causes: old-style dimmers with LED bulbs, dimmers operating near minimum load, or incompatible LED drivers. The solution is usually replacing the dimmer with one designed for your specific bulb type.
Yes. Most occupancy sensors have adjustments for sensitivity (how much motion triggers them), time delay (how long lights stay on after motion stops), and sometimes ambient light (preventing daytime activation). We set these during installation and can show you how to adjust them later.
PIR (passive infrared) sensors can detect larger pets, especially if they're close to the sensor or furniture. Ceiling-mounted sensors and adjustable sensitivity settings help minimize pet triggers. We can position sensors and adjust settings to reduce unwanted activations.
